Hypothetical sportsbetting issue
bigredhoss, May 03 2015
Person A agrees to make bets for Person B at a book Person B does not have access to, in exchange for taking a share of the action. What would you consider a fair arrangement for both people? (assume Person B's bets are +EV)
interesting dream

if you know C++, click this for quick $64
bigredhoss, Jan 23 2015
i have a random $64 on paypal, if anyone can complete and send this code bug-free while following my criteria within 3 hours of posting this, it's yours. most of the code is already done.
it is a gas tank moniter. there's a constructor that creates a gas tank holding 20 gallons, which is empty upon creation. there's a function to fill it and return #gallons filled, a function to use the gas and return #gallons used, and a function telling the user how many gallons are left in the tank. there's also a function to tell when the fuel is getting low, which is when there are <= 5 gallons left.
1. basically, the switch cases are wrong/incomplete, and probably a couple bugs somewhere else in the code. there should be an output something like:
Gallons filled tank 1 -> 20
Gallons filled tank 2 -> 5
fuel OK
Low fuel light
gallons left -> 4
Gallons filled tank 1 -> 16
Gallons filled tank 2 -> 0
2. add whatever functions/variables are needed but don't change any of the class constructors/variables/functions, and don't make any of the currently private class data public. i don't care if you think it looks shitty, leave the basic structure of the program the same.
3. don't add your own comments or remove any of mine.
4. don't import any additional libraries.
sorry for the shitty formatting, idk how to get the code to format the way it appears in codeblocks.

guys i need to grind coffee beans
bigredhoss, Jan 13 2015
i went to the store and bought a bag of coffee, but when i got home i realized FUCK they're whole beans, not ground, and i don't have a coffee grinder.
so i tried crushing them with a heavy hardcover book, didn't work very well. then i tried stomping on them with a thin cloth wrapped around the bag, still didn't work. then i tried going outside and backing over them with my car, still didn't work.
starbucks and carribou coffee are closed here at this hour, i have no other options...what can i do

(but really it's pretty neat imo)
disclaimer: only available to college/uni students. not sure how many uni students are on LP but i'm sure there's some who could take advantage of this and have a decent hourly doing so.
MindSumo.com is a site where companies like Microsoft, Facebook, Coca-Cola, Spotify, etc. post real world business-type problems and awards prizes to the best submissions. The prize/entry ratio is probably better than you'd think - a typical payout would be 5 x $150 first prizes and 5 x $50 second prizes for a problem that has a 40-entry cap. (so 25% of submissions make money)
One of the cool things about it is you can see all of the winning submissions for past problems. There's some thoughtful/clever ideas, but it's also pretty clear you don't have to be a genius - an ambitious 7th grader could be in the running for a lot of them.
1. register and they give you free* $30
2. paste this promo code: ER14E9AC when you sign up for another free* $5
3. there's some other crap where they show you how to make some more free* money like filling out your profile etc.
The two catches are:
1. *you need min. $100 in your account to cash out, after the initial free money the easiest way to do this is just place in one of the challenges.
2. you need a valid .edu e-mail to register (see disclaimer). if you go to a university somewhere that doesn't give you a .edu e-mail, you CAN still register but you have to contact them and they will manually verify you're a student.

sample problem that's currently open from Marriott International:
"Each year, over 100 million little plastic bottles are used for bathroom amenities in Marriott properties. Though "luxurious" and sanitary, this is a huge waste of resources. The company is determined to lead the charge in the hospitality industry to reduce this type of waste."
Propose a dispenser of bathroom products (shampoo, conditioner, lotion) that is aesthetically pleasing, serviceable by room attendants, and user-friendly. Make sure to include:
1) Description of how your dispenser works (motion, levers, triggers, etc)
2) Visuals that to supplement your description (rough sketch or mockup)
Criteria:
Avoid proposing soap dispensers like you would find in a public restroom. We'd like to stay away from anything that feels industrial.
Note: If your dispenser is ideally located in the sink area or in the bath/shower, feel free to focus on a single use-case.

anyone in Peru or have advice?
bigredhoss, Dec 02 2013
hi guys, i am in Sucre, Bolivia right now but plan on going to Cusco in a couple days. My question is, with roughly 12-14 days in Peru, are there any other places i should visit (besides Machhu Pichu obviously) or should I just stick with Cusco. i'm going by bus so that time includes travel times. i am going through Arequipa on the way back to Argentina but don't know much about it or have plans to spend much time there as of now.
also does anyone have opinions on which option in Bolivia is better between Yungas Road or Lake Titicaca if i only have time to do 1?
thanks
